FG 60DD7D0A-F21 Pizzato FG series safety switch with separate actuator with lock

Why Choose the Pizzato FG60DD7D0A-F21 Safety Switch with Guard Locking?

The Pizzato FG60DD7D0A-F21 is a robust FG series safety switch with separate actuator and guard locking designed for monitoring and locking guards, doors and access points on industrial machinery. It combines mechanical actuator detection with solenoid-controlled locking to help prevent access to hazardous machine areas until safe operating conditions have been reached.

As part of the Pizzato FG series, this safety interlock features a durable metal housing, a rotating actuator head and positive-opening safety contacts. Its D7D operating principle keeps the actuator locked while the solenoid is de-energised and incorporates both a sealable auxiliary release device and an escape release pushbutton for enhanced access-management functionality.

The FG60DD7D0A-F21 uses a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and is equipped with 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the solenoid and 2NC contacts operated by the actuator. This configuration is supplied with the VF KEYF21 angled actuator, while two green LEDs provide visual indication linked to the solenoid power supply.

Key Advantages

• Heavy-duty safety interlock switch with mechanical guard locking.
• Locked with the solenoid de-energised for power-to-unlock safety applications.
• Includes a sealable auxiliary release device and escape release pushbutton.
• 2NC actuator-operated safety contacts with positive-opening functionality.
• 1NO + 1NC solenoid-operated contacts for monitoring the locking mechanism.
• Supplied with a VF KEYF21 angled actuator for practical guard installation.
• Durable metal enclosure with IP67 protection when correctly installed with suitable cable glands.
• Two green LEDs provide convenient solenoid status indication.

Reliable Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery

Guard-locking safety switches are used where access to hazardous machine movements must remain restricted until a safe condition has been achieved. The Pizzato FG series combines separate-actuator position monitoring with a solenoid-controlled mechanical lock, allowing the machine control system to supervise both guard position and locking status.

The FG60DD7D0A-F21 uses a power-to-unlock operating principle, meaning the actuator remains mechanically locked while the solenoid is de-energised. Its auxiliary and escape release functions provide additional flexibility for maintenance, commissioning and personnel egress, while the metal construction and IP67-rated enclosure make the switch well suited to demanding industrial environments.

Typical Applications

• Machine safety doors and access guards.
• Robotic cells and automated production equipment.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
• Guarded hazardous areas requiring escape release functionality.
• Industrial systems requiring power-to-unlock guard locking.
